Texas linebacker Sergio Kindle was treated for a concussion after crashing his car into an Austin apartment building last week while he was either sending or receiving a text message, his attorney said Monday. Kindle's attorney, Brian Roark, said Kindle lost control of the car on June 24 while looking at the message. "It was probably something he should not have been doing," Roark said.
